Asus Releases the UX21 and UX31 Zenbooks

Asus has just released their latest ultrabooks but they're calling them zenbooks. If you live in the US, they've announced and released the UX21 and UX31 which start at $999 and $1,099, respectively. The UX21 features an 11.6-inch (1,366 x 768 resolution) display while the UX31 has a 13.3-inch (1,600 x 900 resolution) display. 

Both of them sport a 128GB SSD, 4GB of RAM, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0 support, Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower, and Core i5 / i7 CPU options. They're going to be packing a 5-hour and 7-hour battery life, respectively, and that should be enough for most people. Of course, there are higher-end models which will cost you up to $1,449.

AT&T Releases the Motorola Atrix 2 For $100

The Motorola Atrix 2 was announced at CTIA last week and it looks like it's now available on AT&T. The carrier has released it for $99.99 on a 2-year contract which isn't bad at all. The Atrix 2 features a 4.3-inch qHD display, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, HSPA+ support (up to 21Mbps), and Android 2.3. Like I said, it's only $100 so they're pricing these to move - even Motorola and AT&T know that a new set of superphones are on the way. Check it out on AT&T.
